Left-Green Movement

The Left-Green Movement is a democratic socialist political party in Iceland that was founded in 1999. The party was founded by Althing members who did not approve of the merger of leftist parties into the Social Democratic Alliance, which adhered to Tony Blair's centrist Third Way policies instead of socialism. From 2009 to 2013, however, it formed a coalition government with the social democrats. The movement's views included democratic socialism, green politics, Euroscepticism, feminism, and pacifism.
